The Caring Network: a grief support group of Bridges Healthcare
The Caring Network is a support program for adults who have suffered a loss through death.The group offers support from others who share an experience of loss. Many people living through grief may benefit from spending time with others who will listen, share and offer encouragement.
The group is facilitated by a professional counselor who reviews the normal ranges of grief and mourning. In an atmosphere of safety and support, caring friends are able to express grief, and to pass through this most difficult time of mourning.
The group will meet on the third Monday of the month from September through December. For more info, please email Brooke Torres M.Ed., Bridges Healthcare, at btorres@bridgesmilford.org.
Free to attend. No reservations are required
